21 – Wow I’m old!

I'm turning 21 on the 1st April – and that’s not
a joke.So I had a big party for my 18th and I’m doing a similar thing for
my 21st but after this one I can imagine my celebrations will
probably die down.

Therefore, I need to make the most out of this one!

Event no.1 = With all of my University friends I am going to
Brighton for the weekend to get thoroughly smashed and party on the beach!

We're staying in a seafront hostel where we've hired a 9 bed
dorm for the Saturday night, so getting ready there and then taking a short
stroll along the beach to the clubs.We will probably hit a number of bars before making our way to Digital where we
will party the night away! Excited is an understatement.

Event no.2 = On the actual day my boyfriend and my mum are
getting the train down together from Northampton (my home town) to spend the
day with me doing touristy things which I am so excited about! The loveliest
thing about Christiano (the boyfriend) is that he gets on with my family so well!
It’s like he’s always been a part of our crazy gang (well, it has been nearly 6
years)!

Event no.3 = In the evening my mum is taking me to see The
Book of Mormon. We have both been yearning to see this show ever since it came
to London. My step-mum has seen it and told me about one scene where there is
an ensemble tap routine and mid-way through the lights go off and about 30
seconds later when they come back on there has been a costume change whilst
they were still tap dancing! It is going to be unreal!

Event no.4 = Party! This is the main event – save the best
till last!It starts at 7 with a buffet and jazz band, now that I’m old I have to do
sophisticated events like this, but then from 9 onwards it turns into a generic
21st party. I like having it split into two like this because it
means my grandparents and distant relatives can come for the beginning and my
friends can come for the evening. There’s nothing worse than running around
trying to chat to everyone at your own event and never really having any fun.

I think it’s safe to say that this birthday is going to be
EPIC!

Love being a student and love being young! I hope turning 21
doesn’t mean the start of early nights, family cars and socks and sandals!
